Re: Detecting that a submitted batch job is ending from w/in an RPG program. -- RPG400-L

Yes, but the program only gets called if an entry is added to the journal
and most of the time it is sitting in an OS function and if the program ends
the next time you run it it picks up where it left off.

Didn't know about the WRKREGINF QIBM_QP0L_SCAN_CLOSE. That might work better
but how does it get fired? Would seem like you would have the same problem.
Where does the program execute?

That's still a NEP. Unless you discovered some sort of exit program to
fire off upon a journal entry creation.

You can also use journaling. That is way I set it up at last job. Each
time
that an IFS files was added to a folder it fired a journal entry. The
journal calls an exit program that processes the entry.

RCVJRNE JRN(IFS_AUDIT) EXITPGM(XV0015) JRNCDE((B))
ENTTYP(JT) ENTFMT(*TYPE1)

I have code that does this if you are interested.

If you're checking for the existence of a stream file in a particular

QIBM_QP0L_SCAN_CLOSE (Integrated File System Scan on Close exit program)
is called during close processing such as with the close() API. This

exit

program must be provided by the user.

Theory being, if someone drops in a stream file into a particular
directory (via ftp, netServer, etc) then execute your program.

This way you do not have your NEP checking on a periodic basis. As soon
as the file is closed this program would be called.

WRKREGINF QIBM_QP0L_SCAN_CLOSE

Haven't played with it myself.

Original intent is so that Bytware StandGuard anti-virus would scan

stream

files immediately upon close.
